Hofner Colorama II Sunburst 1964 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Hofner Colorama II Electric Guitar in Sunburst finish. Made in Germany in 1964, this bolt-on constructed guitar features a solid wood body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Hofner Tremolo tailpiece, a Steel compensated bridge, a set of 6-in-line Tulip tuners, and a pair of Hofner Diamond Logo Staple Pickups that are wired to two independent volume controls, and two independent tone controls. The Colorama II has a thick "C"-shaped neck that might seem intimidating at first but is actually very comfortable and fills the hand well without being overly cumbersome. The rounder radius makes playing chords an absolute breeze up and down the neck. The playability of this guitar is a prime example of how excellent build quality can stand the test of time. The two Hofner Diamond Logo Staple Pickups sound meaty and thick without having too high of an output. When amplified, the guitar sounds very clear and articulate, and the pickups certainly translate this attribute well while also providing plenty of power. The Colorama II is resonant, especially for a guitar of its humble craftsmanship and it sustains very well, feeling responsive yet controlled when plugged in.
